The main topic was migration challenges in Europe and tackling the integration
process of refugees. The project was organized by the Youth To Youth Initiative
and the aim was to share good practices and tools on refugees and migrants
integration processes, to build the capacity of youth workers to combat hate
speech towards migrants, misinformation about refugees and xenophobic
discourse. The project involved about 30 participants from 16 European countries:
Lithuania, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Sweden, Armenia, Belarus, FYR Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Serbia, Ukraine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This project was quite diverse in offering different activities. The first part
took place in Lithuania and consisted mostly of lectures and workshops about
refugee and migration issues in Europe. The biggest learning moment was
definitely hearing what the researchers on this topic had to say. The lecturers
included lawyers, scientists, different people who had worked with
ex-extremists etc. So when they put down the facts and numbers, we could see
really clearly how the media portrays a completely different picture and spears
false information. So that was really an eye-opener for everybody.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
second part took place in Armenia. It was basically a study visit, which means
that during the week we visited different organisations working with migrants
and refugees, starting from youth organisations and ending with UNHCR. I never
knew how much hard work and effort Armenians put into helping the migrants. So
during this part I definitely learned a lot about the warm-heartedness of the
people of this nation. But it also made me realize how much we could learn from
the example of Armenia. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

As I am currently not active in social or youth work, it is difficult to say
whether I’ll wok in this field sometime in the future. But on the other hand
this project had so much to offer knowledge-wise so that it’s not just
information that only youth workers come across. The migration issue is a hot
topic all around Europe these days so sharing my experience and knowledge and
letting people know the dangers of media illiteracy is already a big step from
my part into making Europe a more inclusive place for everybody.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Definitely recommend! The organizers from Y2Y are super professional and
inspiring people that really know how to motivate young people into becoming
more active and voicing their opinions. They offered the participants immense
knowledge and practical skills in so many different fields: youth work, but
also project developing, social media and marketing etc. Y2Y connects a whole
network of active people all around the globe so it is definitely worth looking
into more of their projects.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Firstly, I would thank NÜH for sharing these great project participating
opportunities with young people in Estonia. And secondly, I would encourage you
to take part in all sorts of different projects even though you might be
hesitant in choosing the right one. I entered the Inclusive Europe project with
not too many expectations, but in the end I gained more knowledge and skills
than I would have imagined. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I developed my social skills a lot, coming out of my comfort zone, also my
language skills. Speaking in another language all the time and sometimes trying
to explain yourself when maybe the other person doesn’t understand is also a
good lesson on the language area. I also learned a lot about volunteer work,
that its just not helping out your neighbor or friends but so much more. You
can really change someones life or perspective by doing something simple. My
developed as a person and got a lot of motivation for the future to continue
volunteer work and join an organization.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

where boss(es) don`t feel obligated to share information with other workers,
and workers don`t understand why they`re supposed to do some tasks, which leads
to conflicts and lost motivation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Yes, I would recommend this to my friends. It’s a good way to meet new people
to hire into your organization, or just make new friends and learn about other
countries and their problems and volunteer work. Also, you can step out of your
comfort zone and see the wider world, learn new languages and culture, maybe
learn something new about yourself too. If the person is interested in
volunteer work, it’s a good project to learn about volunteer work from people
who are working on this field.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

feasibility of our idea, to say the least. The whole ordeal taught me a lot
about the business world, and I learnt not to be so attached to my product that
I take constructive criticism on it as a personal offence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

migration. We had a great opportunity to learn a lot about this

that has broke in Europe in 2014, but the general idea of migration. We
learned other important concepts such Emigration, Immigration, Immigrant,
refugee, asylum seeker, Geneva convention, Frontex and many other important
concepts that relate to the migration topic.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Vukajlovic - </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">My biggest learning
moments were when we had to do a presentation about certain concepts such as
Schengen, Frontex, Geneva convention and etc. I was happy to learn more
and also present it from my point of view. I also had the opportunity to
learn a lot from others. Almost all concepts were new to me and I had a great
opportunity to grasp them. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">Another big
learning moment was the stimulation, when participants including me, had to sit
in the room. We had to remain the silent, we had to fill in asylum
application forms which were presented in totally different languages. We
were also interviewed by immigration service that spoke Portuguese, so nobody
could understand. That was one of the best stimulations, where
participants could step inside the shoe of a refugee. Refugees come to a
country where nothing is explained to them, nor is their language spoken
there. Authorities do not have any patience for newcomers and they are
not willing to help them. I was happy we had an opportunity to step in their
shoes and see that the way of a refugee is extremely difficult. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

glad that all participants had task to create a game and present it in the
middle school for students from Finland.
That was another big moment, where both Finish high school student, and
we ourselves, learned a lot from each other.</span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

like to eventually try the game that participants created, in Estonia and the
Netherlands. I am a person who changes its place of living often, and I
am involved in the volunteer work ever since I was in high school.
Therefore, I would like to do a comparison between a couple of countries.
One of the countries where I would like to introduce this game is, in one of
the high schools in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a very culturally
and immigration diverse place, for many years. It would be nice to see
how high school kids think of migration there. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

where I live, I could also do the same game in a high school My
plan is to join a youth club and purpose this initiative and see if it would
work out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">I would like to compare the reaction of high school student in Tartu,
Estonia and the Netherlands. Estonia is
less culturally diverse than the Netherlands.
And therefore, it would be nice to see differences and it would be nice
for high school student to gain an opportunity to learn more in a fun and
informal way.</span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

to start my one-year volunteering with a foster home with kids who had been
taken from their families due to specific conditions. I had no experience with
kids like this, I had no knowledge of Portugal’s culture nor its language. I
had no expectations for this year, all I wanted was to enjoy myself and learn a
thing or two about Portugal and foster kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Working with kids is never easy. Kids have
different behavioural ways and personalities, especially kids whose past isn’t
as easy as theirs. Since I didn’t speak the language, I couldn’t communicate
with them as much as I wanted. The first two weeks I remember just sitting on
the sofa and watching the tv. Those two weeks I was in a house with only
teenage boys, later my house moved together with another house. That meant more
kids, but also another volunteer. Lucky me, she spoke a little Portuguese. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">My assignments in the house were mainly to
help the educators. That means I helped the kids with their homework, I took
the kids to their practices or doctor’s appointments, I went to the supermarket
with the kids when they want to spend their allowance on chips and candy. I was
like a bigger sister watching over them and making sure they are okay. Since
majority of the kids were in ages 13-14 then mostly they spent their free time
hooked on technology. However, I was always there for them whenever they needed
attention or simply hugs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Portuguese people are known to be welcoming
and warm towards strangers. I think there must be something in that ocean water
and constant sunlight. I lived in Lisbon, which is the capital of Portugal. A
beautiful city with even more beautiful and interesting people. One thing,
which I really enjoyed about Lisbon, was that you never quite knew what was
hidden just around the corner. It was like magic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">My coordinating organization signed me into
an apartment quite close to the city centre. It was six of us in a tiny
apartment, two sharing one room. In the beginning I wasn’t quite sure how this
would work and to tell you the truth I was a little worried. In the end
everything worked out amazingly and my flatmates were a big support for me
throughout my project. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Besides volunteering at the foster home, I
decided to get into the local activities – festivals. I have been part of
festivals in Tallinn and so I wanted to try that opportunity in Lisbon as well.
I got to be part of two amazing film festivals – MONSTA and IndieLisboa – where
the crew was so welcoming and helped me with anything I needed, for example
translation. I think I was the only one who spoke only English, but that didn’t
stop me from helping the crew or enjoying the time spent at the festivals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">WOW! That would my first thought of
Portugal. The country is stunning and there are beautiful places in the nature
to go and check out. Of course, surfing is a <b>BIG</b> thing there, so when you do go – check out the waves! Every
time I managed to take a trip outside of Lisbon, I was in complete “aww” about
the sights. They take your breath away, figuratively speaking and physically
due to the winds if you go to the coast. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

definitely learning from others’ experiences regarding EVS. In addition to the
trainers, we had many participants who had been involved in EVS projects for
quite some time, so it was very useful and interesting to hear different
stories about conflicts, accommodation conditions, activities and initiatives
created by the volunteers in the hosting organization etc. It was also nice to
meet current EVS volunteers in Spain and see how they felt about their ongoing

Aro -</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">I think I learned so much about other
cultures. We even had presentations from UK and Cyprus participants about what
type of conflicts there are in those two countries. Also we did lots of
teamwork where I heard from different people what type of values are prominent
in their countries. I think it made me understand those countries a lot better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most important thing I learned was
how our environment changes us. The first day we had to work as a team was hard.
Because people did not communicate very well but as the days went on people
started to adapt to the new environment. In the end the teamwork was very good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In conclusion I think in the future I
would also start to look more into the environment we live in. Because it could
hold a solution for our problems. Before I use to look into the
individuals/events that were blamed for the problems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

dynamics theory, which explained how individuals and society develops in a certain
way. It gave a very clear understanding of why the development goes in certain
steps, as we did a simulation of social evolution, working both individually
and in teams, and later analyzed how development needs these different stages.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

my year in France Bordeaux. So for the beginning I am going to tell you how
I ended up as a volunteer in the first place. When I was 15 years old, I
had my first youth exchange and after that I fell in love with travelling and
meeting people all over the world. Ever since then I have taken part of 6
exchanges. Fast forward to 12</span><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;">th</span></sup><span lang="ET" style="color: #222222;"> grade when everyone was thinking about universities and what to study
next but my head was elsewhere - my dream was to work as a volunteer, and
because of that I ended up taking a gap year and going to France to be an </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;">“Ambassador of European Values” for the House of

September I found myself in the capital of wine. We started off things
easy. Our organization gave us time to settle in and meet the city. We were
staying in a student residence apartments where I shared my flat with a

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the most
anticipated and perhaps scariest moment for me and my fellow Estonian volunteer
was February or should I call it the month of Estonia. Our mission at that time
was to prepare a cultural night with Estonian food and presentation made
entirely in French. Doing something like that generally does not scare me but
the problem was the language. I went to France without knowing the language and
at that point it was still not good. In addition to our presentation we had to
cook Estonian foods. It was a struggle to find black bread but other than that
our efforts paid off and the food was delicious. In the end the hard work paid
off and everything went smoothly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Bordeaux, France, where you can find the best chocolatines, baguettes, and of
course, great Bordeaux’s wine. I grew up
in a small town in Estonia, where my biggest dream was to travel and see the
world. Before doing my EVS in France, I was also doing some voluntary work in
my hometown Rakvere, working mostly with children and organising different
activites for them. Volunteering has always been something very important for
me- by helping ohters I can increase my baggage of knowledge and experiences. I
also wasn’t sure what to do after graduating high school, because I couldn’t
find anything that I was really passionate about, so I decided to take a year
and explore a new culture. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="ET" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I arrived to France and started my EVS
in September 2016. It was the first time ever in France for me, so everything
was very exciting and new. Coming from Estonia, the hot and humid summer
weather of Bordeaux was really hard to get used to, but in the end it was
perfect for going to the beach and jumping into cold but refreshing ocean
waves. The first two months of my project were a bit easier on us- we were
given some time to discover the life of Bordeaux and to get used to living in
flats with our new flatmates. We also received theoretical information about
our work in different schools starting from November. Our project was called
„Ambassadors of European Values“ and we were woking with people from 7
different European countries – Estonia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia. We were all working for the House of Europe (Maison de
l’Europe), which is all about promoting European values and bringing people
from different nationalities together. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

European volunteers and one local french volunteer from Service Civique, who helped
us out with translation if needed to. We were going to schools around Bordeaux
to talk about our countries, raising awareness of stereotypes and just giving
young people the chance to communicate in English. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

my friend in Scotland, warm and sunny Barcelona, green Amsterdam and many ohter

architecture of France, I got to see and experience the life in other countries
as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, my story goes way back to 2015 when I met some amazing people from Portugal. After that I </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">knew that I want to spend at least a year in Portugal, close to the Atlantic ocean. It took less than a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">year for my dream to come true.

That is why I had an opportunity to meet a lot </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of people. My project became my team and family, with them we tackled a lot. We all went there </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with an idea that we wanted to accomplish, but to be honest you never know what to prepare for.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a chance to work/spend time with kids who are from challenging families and not the best </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">neighbourhoods. Me and also other volunteers had to work on trust and respect, but eventually it </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">started to give back. This gave me a great appreciation for trust, now I can truly say that it's a hard </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">thing to built. This is something that I will never take easily.</span></div>

Before I left I considered </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">myself as an open-minded person, but honestly, this came with the last year. Maybe I was open in </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">an Estonian way, but in a bigger picture it doesn't give you anything. Now I hope I am more passion </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">driven and I can always find a way to be myself. I also learned a lot about cultural differences, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">because I was the only person to introduce Northern countries. I was lucky to learn about Mediterranean culture from my flatmates, who are from France, Italy and Cyprus. Also from all the others, but with my flatmates I spent the most time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year gave me a lot of chances to travel and see around. Besides Portuguese people I also </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">discovered the country itself. A year is not enough to understand everything, but it's good for a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">proper introduction.

discussed visible elements of culture: folk dances, traditions, cuisines, and
songs which provide us deeper understanding of our values. Through this
exchange we realized differences and similarities connected with culture from
various European nations. This project was great opportunity for the
development of intercultural competence among the participants.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

learning moment was more than one, like history of participating countries and

to understand the civic attitude of the youth of different countries. Ice breaking,
team building activates and cooking were also the major learning moments for
me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

biggest learning moments took place, while I was having one-on- one

learn about, how certain behaviours and habits otherwise very natural to my own
culture can either lack or vary in the other culture.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

workshop. Daily we use to cook different dishes chosen by members representing
their country in this project. For the first time in life I cooked Estonian
food with the help of team members it was delicious. Secondly during the
workshops and discussions we found out some similarities linking our traditions
and try to work out common dialogue for understanding our diversity. We can
work together for solving the problems encountered in the field of mutual
intercultural communication.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

me personally was the biggest moment when I learnt how to peel tomatoes, it was
something totally weird and new for me. Also during project we got some
traditional dance experience. For example how to dance Macarena and besides
this during dancing how to sing it in spanish. It was complicated for everyone
in the beginning but at the end together we managed to do it well.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

harjutus oleks võinud projekti alguses olla. Teema oli kerge, aga ma tahtsin ja
sain omale 4 minutilise osa Oxfordi debatis ja kus ma närvitsesin, kuigi me
harjutasime enne kõik väitlejad koos nende ees, kes ei julgenud esineda. Ma
tahtsin ja lihtsalt pidin ka üksi oma laulu laulma ja tantsisin improviseerisin
liigutusi, et maha rahuneda veits, vaatasin sõnad maha telefonist-see ei olnud
tähtis ning oleks pidanud rohkem rahvast kaasa plaksutama kutsuma. Meie
grupp(mina, Villiam ja Marek) kaotasime vist debati sellepärast, et ma
mainisin, et naiste iq on madalam kui meestel ja selle peale reageeriti.(top 1
on mees, aga keskmiselt on naised targemad) Kahjuks me ei saanud oma esitlust
teha intercultural õhtul ja videosid Milcovenist pole ka näinud. Väga toredad
kohad ja jääb eluks ajaks meelde. Ainuke miinus oli see, et Teregovast Milcoveni
sõites oli meil reckless driver ja ma palvetasin, et ma surma ei saaks haha:)
Ma olin ka kolmanda debati idee autoriks, sest enamus hääletas minu poolt.
Oleksin võinud valida (kas rohkem raha teeb õnnelikumaks) või (samasooliste
abielu), sest Illuminati kohta ei teatud eriti
ja ei saanud midagi teada selle kohta, ainult et see dollari rahatähe
peal, mis oli ühel tüdrukul kaasas. Magasin end välja iga päev, keskmiselt 7
tundi. Algul 4,5,8,10,1 ja siis 8,7,10,1,10 vms. See et wifi ära kadus, mul oli
ükskõik sellest ja elekter kui ära kadus, siis ka suva. Algul oli veits
paanika, sest nii palav oli nagu oleks saunas, aga harjus kiiresti ära.Parem
kui Eestis ilm ikkagi. Ühe korra tegime tornaadot ainult söögilauas, maitea,
miks see ei meeldinud mõnedele, aga ma istusin vahel ikka teistega ka peale
eestlaste. Eure sain vahetada mõlemas külas, algul 4.5 ja siis 4.4 kursiga.

2015, I took part of the training course in Austria “LAB: Technology of
Involvement” in Velden am Wörthersee. This was my first time to visit Austria
and I felt really amazed from the nature and culture there. During this project
we visited Villach Youth Centre and I found out that they are also receiving
volunteers under the Erasmus+ program. After the project I kept the contacts and
asked for possibility to make my one year EVS in Villach. At this point I was
29 years old and as the voluntary projects are meant for the young people age
17-30. Regarding my age, it was really “<i>now
or neve</i>r” decision and to be honest, the sound of “never” it really didn´t
fit to my thought’s. It was time to step out of my comfort zone, apply my
project together with my sending and receiving organisation and about five months
later I found myself living in the most southern corner of Austria, in the beautiful
city, called Villach. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regarding
my precious experience as a youth worker and Erasmus+ projects it was really
interesting to learn how things are done here. Learn more about the youth work

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My
assignments in the Youth Centre were to help them on daily basis, but also to
create new inputs. For example, there is a saying we use in EVS projects on and
it is: “Creating your project inside of a project.” It means that as you are
already part of the EVS project, you go there with a mission to bring your own
initiative and create projects. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly,
I had always been passionate with areas witch needed many use of creativity. I
looked around and saw the possibilities and on the start of the spring I
created the “Urban Gardening” project in the Villach Youth Centre. It was a
project with the aim to introduce the possibilities of gardening inside of the
city, to create interest of green lifestyle and educate the young people of the
“gardening ABC”, plant and grow their own vegetables. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In every
event I had the chance to be part of the team, share my ideas and learning by
doing. I had a really great team and it is actually always nice to experience
in those projects how the people you have never met before on your life,
becoming good friends of you. Even after my voluntary service in JUZ, I can
feel that this is the place, I can always visit and feel like home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to say, that if someone would have told me that after one year I could speak

with traditional clothes, good food, beer, folkmusic, dances and party. People
here really do love their traditions as in every true Villacher person (young

and in Kirchtag it is a must-a-wear. Shortly to say – it is a city worth of
discovering! </span><span lang="EN-GB">J</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

somehow it has been very difficult to leave this experience behind. Seems like
writing this post is the official end. But then again, there are no ends, only
new beginnings. Well, here it comes, some monthly stories from my EVS what I

<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first month as a volunteer in Sicily has passed very fast. Mainly this
month I spent time to understand my main activities here and get to know the
local life in Mussomeli. At the beginning I was little bit worried that I might
have too much free time but now I understand that I have many different
activities here and I am very happy about that. Now I am working in library
organising books, teaching english for children in elementary and high schools
and also writing articles for the blog what we created together with other
volunteers. Also we are creating campaigns on different topics, first theme is
trash because we discovered that the streets in Mussomeli are full of trash.
Our main idea is to build Christmas tree out of trash and the grand opening
will be on next Friday. So busy days ahead. For me the free time and working
time is well balanced and I feel the support from Arcistrauss for everything.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

good at it and they are teaching me as well. Also from time to time we play football
on Saturdays if it’s not raining. These local friends have helped me to
understand local life very well and I am grateful. Every week we have italian
lessons and I am trying to speak in italian, because I think this is the best
way to learn a new language. I make a lot of mistakes but I can see how locals

interesting and sometimes challenging. But we get along well and we are
developing our friendships. Conflict management and group processes are useful
knowledges here. But we are growing to become close friends and that is nice. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My second month as volunteer past so fast that it is unbelievable. Together
with other volunteers we visited Palermo and my first impression from Palermo
wasn’t that good. We were very lucky, we hitchhiked there and a nice couple
drove us to Palermo and helped us to find a cheap hostel. Mainly we spent time
shopping and since I am not a big fan of shopping I was very happy when we went
to seaside in Mondello. It was very beautiful and calming experience. Arriving
back to Mussomeli was very nice, I really felt like I came back home. So I
guess somehow Mussomeli has already become a home for me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the first half of December we continued our normal acitivities – I
went to schools to participate english lessons, helped little bit in library
and worked on our trash campaign. We created a nice Christmas tree from plastic
bottles. The outcome is very nice and hopefully helps us all to remember how
easy recycling actually is.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

On December 19th I went to Palermo to
meet my dear friend Ef from Greece. We spent two amazing days together
discovering Palermo. During these two days my opinion about Palermo totally
changed, we discovered lots of beautiful parks and places. After he left I
stayed in Palermo for one day and I met two amazing people via Couchsurfing.
They introduced some places in Palermo as well and offered me the opportunity
to spend a night at their homes. I am very grateful. On December 22 I flew to
Rome where I met Ylaria, a girl who I first met in May 2016 in Romania. I spent
a night in Rome, saw the Colosseum and enjoyed some good local food. Next day I
arrived to Bulgaria, where I met most of my Bulgarian friends. I spent
Christmas and New Year’s Eve there and I consider myself very lucky because all
the people I met there were very nice and friendly, they opened their homes and
hearts for me, introduced the local spirits and made me feel very safe. On my
way back to Sicily I had another chance to discover Rome, this time I spent and
amazing day together with Alessandro, italian who I met in December 2014 in
Romania. We haven’t seen eachother since the project but when we met again it seemed
like we had known eachother forever. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I stayed in Palermo for one night I still felt very safe and happy. I love
travelling but from time to time it is nice to spend some time in a familiar
enviroment which is becoming my home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

So actually I really felt like at home
because for me it is very natural that during the winter it is snowing. Even
though it was little bit difficult to spend some time outdoors I was grateful
because it was so beautiful. And some quality time with tea and good movies is
always useful. This was the first opportunity this year to appreciate the
moment and make a choice how I see things. I was choosing positive way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As usually it seemed like time is flying too fast. Evem though first two
weeks we had lots of snow and because of that most of my activities were
cancelled, somehow I still had lots of things to do. Mainly I concentrated on
analysing my experience so far – what I could do better, how to improve my
participation in activities and what kind of new things I could do. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week of January I was participating my on-arrival training. It was
difficult in so many ways. First – it was only in italian. And even though I
understood almost everything I still don’t have enough vocabulary or courage to
actually speaks in italian. Secondly – I got sick, so I missed half of the
activities. And now I discovere myself in a low-point. First time during my EVS
I feel really homesick and I truly miss my friends and family. But I know that
this is totally normal part of this experience so I don’t let it to bother me
too much. Because life always goes on and I have new challenges and
opportunities, so I am actually very curious to see how I will manage with
everything. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">February started as a difficult month, I was struggling with some
homesickness. I was totally aware of the fact that probably at one point I will
realize how much I miss my friends and family. But I didn’t give up, I
understood that this is just one part of this amazing experience and in a way I
am little bit grateful because I think I appreciate all amazing people in my
life little bit more. And it is nice that thanks to social media and internet
we can easily keep in touch. So I didn’t ignore the fact that I was homesick,
it was just part of me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

activities and now my schedule is busier that during the previous months. But I
am happy about that because now I really feel useful. I participate in many
english lessons in different schools, I keep working on different topics for
the blog and I also have a very nice opportunity to work on an international
project application. This is little bit challenging, but I really enjoy this
opportunity because that gives me a chance to develop myself in the field I
already feel like very good at. And everything I learn here will be useful in
the future. Both in worklife and personal life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">February is an important month for me – firstly, my youngers brother and
sister celebrated their 25th birthday and a day after was Estonia’s
independence day. In the end of January one Estonian wrote to me, he is also an
EVS volunteer in Sicily. So we decided that the perfect time to meet is on
Estonia’s independence day. And I was very happy to discover that actually in
Sicily here are more estonians. Officially me in Mussomeli, one guy in Catania
and one girl in Palermo. We celebrated our independence day in a proper way –
some traditsional Estonian snacks (black bread, Estonian candies, potatoe salad
and smoked sausage), listening to estonian music and watching how our president
is greeting important people who have contributed to the development of Estonia
as a republic and as a nation. So last days of February were very nice – I
discovered Sicily a little bit (Catania and Siracusa), got to know how tricky
public transportation system in Sicily is and got confirmation to the idea that
sicilians are very nice and warm people.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So.. this month has been very strange. I discovered the value of time. I
don’t feel the need to rush all the time anymore. Health comes first. Yes, I
found out that my exhaustion actually has a reason – iron level in my blood is
very low. And something strange is going on with my eyes. It might be some kind
of allergy.. I am not totally sure, but who knows, maybe it is allergy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have stayed at home because of my health problems. So that has given me
time to analyse everything. Seems like time to analyse my life here is very
important because this is how I understand what has changed and what I have
learned.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

club for children and working together with other volunteers to create
international youth exchange project. Sometimes I was thinking that the main
problem is the motivation level and other time I thought the problem is
language barrier. So.. putting these two thing together – nothing is happening
or the level of work that gets done is very low. Even though it has been
difficult, somehow the motivation keeps coming back because understanding that
these two activities may be the most difficult ones, they are also the biggest
learning opportunities. So even it is very easy to give up, that hasn’t
happened so far because I am here to discover something and that process keeps
going on. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="ET"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What has been wonderful during March is the weather. When my friends form
Estonia sent me photos of how much snow they have, I sent them photos of
sunshine. We have an amazing terrace here and the best moments for
self-analysing and motivating myself happened while laying on the terrace and
enjoying the sunshine. It is so nice that we have the opportunity to eat
breakfest or lunch on the terrace. For me it seems that sun makes everything
better. I have always thought that (well, in Estonia we don’t have so much sunshine)
and it works for me – during sunny days I feel more energetic and I am happier.
And of course the sun has played a big role in our tomato growing process, the
plants are so nice and beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

fact that I got used to my life in Sicily. Everything became familiar and I
felt good there. I continued with my activities, I had an opportunity to make
suggestions what I want to do (thank you, ArciStrauss team!) and I actually
felt appreciated as well. These seven months were full of challenges,
surprises, sadness, overcoming my fears, deep conversations, long evenings,
amazingly good food, communication problems, self-analyzing and growing as a
person. I am so grateful that I had this opportunity to do my EVS in such an
amazing place. And I am grateful to people who made my EVS so amazing – Jose,
Roberta, Anthony, Dario, Nuccia, Anna, Hana, Lola, Radu, Hakan and Sebiastien.

was the inclusion games, seminars and workshop that we did during the project.
Last two days of the training were quite interesting and full of learning as we
have to make our own projects with the other participant from other countries.
We learned the tool of participation from the trainers and then we implemented
the learning’s on our project and presented in front of participants. Feedback
on the presentations were quite effective as well to think broader about the

project offered many opportunities for self-growth. Since all of the activities
required teamwork, public speaking and argumentation, I felt the greatest
improvement in aforementioned spheres. In addition I gained heaps of new
knowledge about the migration situation in the participating countries, which
advocated empathy and self-analyses. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

learning moment was, when we listened everybody`s opinion about refugees and
wrote down why are immigrants leaving, how to integrate them and what are
different country´s icebergs of visual and hidden values. Also i learned to be
even calmer when public speaking and also like even lead the conversations and
show others the way. Also i realised my English wasn’t 6 out of ten, because i
could speak infinitely.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

problem and not the cause. And it's hard to get to the cause if not a
collective genuine interest and intent to solve it all over the world by people
is not developed. One can do only as much as to bring awareness to the subject
to awaken the interest and intent among the people. Apathy and ignorance is the
main problem among the masses, especially the youth.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to their country. It is a good opportunity to be social, face your fears,
travel to super awesome places, and get to know different cultures. Also it can
be taken as an active cheap vacation and better than just lying under the sun

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My experience with EVS was set in the sunny capital of Portugal, where I spent 6 months volunteering in a beautiful, warm and welcoming centre for mentally disabled people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the opportunity for this Project thanks to a good friend, who so kindly advised me to talk to Marco, to get some understanding of what EVS is and the possibilities it would give me. Since I was doing my last year of high school and struggling with choosing my next step, in what direction to choose the university degree, I decided to go somewhere far away to find myself by travelling, learning about a hidden minority in our community by helping them and building a close relationship with these people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To be honest, I was very scared of doing this Project. And that for multiple reasons. I was moving out of the house I grew up in for the first time, living in a foreign country which language I did not speak, being in an International community and especially working with people who have mental disabilities, as I had never encountered them before in my life. But still I was excited to the maximum, I was ready for the experience.</span></div>

All that sun and warm weather! Coming from Estonia, where already in September it was cold and rainy, here, in Lisbon I could go to the beach. The City is amazing, a big old town part, a lot of houses covered in colored tiles, narrow streets which are floored with cobblestone, happy, smiling people. I fell in love with this culture and I have to say, I took some of the Portuguese mentality to myself as well, which I find makes me more happy and not sweating the small stuff, enjoying life much more fully.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Project itself changed my perspectives a lot, not only in how I see people with mental disabilities, but in general, how I communicate with all people. I feel much more love inside of myself and others. I see the importance of showing affection and care towards the ones round us, because to someone just a simple embrace might make their day more meaningful. I got to the point that I see them just as normal as any other person in this world, they became my friends, who I miss and was happy to see every day when I went to the centre. They teached me a lot about being my authentic self, showing emotions and not caring about what others might think, as they had all of these sides perfectly represented in them.</span></div>

I became much more independent and able to think my thoughts more clearly and understand my wishes. I got a better realization of what the world is like outside of my safe little home country. The biggest realization I made was the one I was looking for when choosing to do this Project, find out what I want to do next. And I did. Thanks to this I decided to enroll on a degree in psychology, which I have understood, I have always been very drawn to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To anyone who is searching for themselves or their purpose, I can say with full assurance, that doing a Project like this is the best way to do it. It’s a very diverse experience, which will be filled with a wide range of situations and emotions and I think only by stepping into this discomfort, we can find ourselves and our purpose.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m Katrin and
this is the summary of my European voluntary service in Valencia. First of all,
I decided to do EVS because I got to the point of my life because I felt that
I’m stuck. I had finished with my studies in university and didn’t find a
professional job as soon as I wanted so I was working as a waitress for a year.
During that year I realised that I need a change: a change of scenery, change
of lifestyle, everything. So I started to look for volunteering opportunities
and it was not easy for me at first but then luckily enough I found that Noored
Ühiskonna heaks has a partnership with and organization in Valencia and of
course I applied straight away because I knew that I want to come to Spain and
the project type wasn’t the most important thing for me because my main goal
was to try something different and learn new things. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alright, enough
about the introduction, let’s get to the business. I did my EVS in organization
called GoEurope, which main goal is to help young people through different
Erasmus+ programs. I was working with 2 other volunteers in the beginning but
half way through the girl from Italy quit the project, so it was just me and
the Romanian girl (Flavia). </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our main tasks as volunteer were: organising
English café for young Spaniards in order for them to practice English; help
with project </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">management and
also a bit of project writing; promote the organization on social media and at
different events; look for potential partnerships and promote Erasmus+. Through
these activities I learned that it’s not easy to motivate young people to
practice English and for an event to be successful it needs a very good
promotion. I got to know the Erasmus+ world better and gained knew knowledge
about project writing and management.</span></div>

volunteering process I also took part in the on-arrival training and mid-term
training, which are a part of EVS program. The first training was more about
introducing EVS and getting us ready for our upcoming life as a volunteer. The
second training was more focused on reflection and analysing our project and it
was more personal. The trainings were a good way to get to know other
volunteers and spend a nice time out of my usual “reality”. At the mid-term
evaluation I met Estonians after 6 months and I was so happy that I got to
speak Estonian. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One other very
cool thing I got to do during my volunteering was helping to organize a youth
exchange. The youth exchange was held by Valencia youth council but since
GoEurope shares a working space with them and they needed help, I decided to
get involved and help to organize it. I helped to create ideas for the
workshops; also did energizers for the participants and in general I was like
an assistant for the main organizer and helped her with whatever she needed. It
was a great experience because now I got to see the youth exchange from the
organizers point of view and I learned a lot of new tricks to use in non-formal
education. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

not only about working, it’s also about getting to know new culture, learn a
new language, make new friends and travel. During my EVS I learned a lot of new
things about Spain and got to experience a very traditional celebration in Valencia (Las Fallas). I’m very happy that I
met Flavia because we became good friends and I know we will stay in touch for
a long time. I got to see many beautiful places in Spain and enjoy the warm
weather and beach.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

main idea of the Training course Peace Leaders+ was to help future group
leaders develop their professional skills and become a good example for
youngsters in their countries. Participants of TC had chance to discover new methods
concerning working in non-formal educational system and more over using that
knowledge for motivating young people to study. Another part of TC was dedicated

my opinion, the most interesting and important part of training course was the
workshop dedicated to Leadership skills. It helped me to get to know about all
types of leadership and to understand which type of leader I am. Trough role
play and special cases we saw ourselves how it works this or that leadership
style. This is very useful for people who are planning to work as a leader in
small or big groups.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
